SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,947, dated July 13,1880.

Application led May 21, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, NTCHOLAS BOREN, Jr., ofHaubstadt, in the county of Gibson and State of Indiana, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Ghurn-Motors, of which the following' is aspecification.

My invention consists' in a novel arrangement and combination, with thechurn-dasher rod, of a series of shafts and band-wheels and a drum andWeight and connections, whereby provision is made for obtaining anincreased velocity of the dash er, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a top view, partly in section,of an apparatus embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a side view of thesame.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the floor of a room in which the apparatus is used, and Crepresents a frame work supporting the working parts, which frame-workrests upon the door A. B represents a standard extending upward from thefloor A, and provided with an arm, b, to which is attached a pulley, D,for the purpose hereinafter described.

In the frame-work C is journaled a shaft, E, which carries at one end acrank, Gr, and at the other end a band-wheel, H. This handwheel isprovided with a crank-pin, to which is connected the upper end of apitman, t', the lower end of which is connected to a treadle, J, so thatthe shaft E may be turned by means of either the crank or the treadle.

On the shaft E is a drum, K, which works loosely thereon, except whenengaged by a clutch, L, fixed to said shaft. To the drum K is attachedone end of a cord, M, which passes over the pulley D and has a weight,P, attached to its other end. The clutch L is provided with a spring, l,for holding it engaged with the drum K.

The band-wheel H is provided with a brake consisting of a roller, r,carried by the short arm of a lever, R, pivoted in the frame-work G, andhaving its long arm formed into a ring and engaging with a spiral groovein a Vertical pin, Q, having its seat in the frame-work C. By turningthe pin Q the tension of the brake is regulated and the speed ofrotation of the wheel H is governed thereby.

From the wheel H a band, s, passes to a pulley, s2, carried by a shaft,S, which shaft also carries a wheel, s3. From this wheel a band, t,passes to a pulley, t2, carried by a shaft, T, which shaft also carriesa wheel, t3. rIhe Wheel t3 is provided with a crank-pin, to which isconnected the lower end of a pitman, fv, the upper end of which isconnected to one side of a slide, V, working in vertical ways attachedto the frame-work C. To the other side of the slide V is connected thedasher-rod w of a churn, W, of any suitable description.

The spoke of the wheel t3, to which the pitman c is connected, isprovided with a number of holes arranged in a radial direction, so thatby changing the crank-pin #from one hole to another the stroke of theflasher-rod may be lengthened or shortened.

Near the periphery of the wheel t3. diametrically opposite the point ofconnection ofthe pitman c, is a counterbalance-weight, T2, by means ofwhich the wheel t3 is enabled to act as a fly-Wheel, and a regular anduniform motion ofthe apparatus is insured.

The shaft E is turned so as to wind the cord M on the drum K. Bydisengaging the clutch L the drum may be turned independently of theshaft. As the weight P descends motion is communicated to the shaft E,and thence, through the wheels, bands, and pulleys before described, tothe slide V, so as to impart a very rapid vertical reciprocating motionto the dasher-rod w.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patentl. The combination, with a churn and itsdasher-rod, of the drum K and its weighted cord, the clutch L, theshafts E, S, and T and their wheels and connecting-bands, and the pitmanc and slide V, as herein shown and described.

2. The combination, with the band-wheel H, of the adjustable brakeconsisting of the roller r, lever B, and spirally-grooved pin Q, asherein shown and described.

3. The standard B, provided With the arm b and carrying the pulley D, incombination with the Weighted cord M, the drum K, and the churnmechanism, as herein shown and 5 described.

4. The Wheel t3, provided with the counterbalance T2, and with a seriesof holes arranged in a radial direction, in combination with thecrank-pin t4, pitman v, and the dasher-rod and 1o churn mechanism, asherein shown and described.

5. The slide V, Working in `vertica1ways attached to the frame C, incombination with the pitman o), attached to one side, and the dasher-rodattached to the other side, as herein 15 shown and described.
